  1. Drexel University 2010-2011 RockSat-CPreliminary Design Review Joe Mozloom Eric Marz Linda McLaughlin Swati Maini Swapnil Mengawade Advisor: Jin Kang, PhD

  2. Mission Overview - Objective • Drexel's RockSat payload will incorporate a platform rotating opposite the spin-stabilization of the Terrier-Orion sounding rocket during ascent, resulting in a rotationally static platform from an outside reference frame.

  3. Mission Overview - Purpose • Experimentally determine the feasibility of a despun platform under high acceleration and turbulence, driven by a low power system. • Provide a stable platform with respect to the exterior environment to accommodate experiments requiring constant frame of reference in an ascending object.

  4. Mission Overview - Theory • Angular Velocity • ω = dθ / dt • At 5.6 Hz ω = 35.18 rad/sec • Radial Acceleration • ar = ω2 r • At 35.18 rad/sec • With 0.0635 meter Radius ar = 78.62 m/s2 = 8 g ω ar at

  5. Expected Results Workbench Flight Meet all NASA / WFF requirements Counter-rotating platform engaged when canister is spinning Platform able to rotate under harsh flight conditions Data is reliably collected and is usable • Meet all NASA / WFF requirements • Counter-rotating platform effective from 0.5 Hz - 10 Hz • Maximum platform spin-rate 10% of current canister spin-rate • Data is reliably collected and is usable

  6. Preliminary Design

  7. Concept of Operations • There are several flight points which are of interest to our experiment (Seen on next slide) • Rotation measurements of despun platform during following time periods: • Terrier Burnout • Orion Burnout • Remaining Ascent • Descent

  11. Despun Platform Definition • System Components • Through-Bore Slip Ring • Slip Ring Fastener • Undefined until Slip Ring is selected • May be unnecessary if mounting holes can be drilled into slip ring • Despun Plate/Cog • 2-axis, High-G Accelerometer

  12. DP - Subsystem Description • 4:1 Gear Ratio between platform and motor pinion • Reduces torque needed by motor • Despun gear nominal dimension of 5” (127 mm) • Gear to be CNC cut from ¼” (6.35 mm) polycarbonate • Fabricated In-House

  16. DP - Risk Matrix • DP.RSK.1 • Sensor will not function • DP.RSK.2 • Teeth on gear will break due to elevated torque levels from acceleration • DP.RSK.3 • Vibrations will cause loss of contact in Slip Ring Terminals • DP.RSK.4 • High Gs will cause slip ring bearings to seize • DP.RSK.5 • High Load causes gear to distort, losing contact with pinion

  22. Accelerometers Trade Study

  23. DS - Accelerometers Testing • ADXL203 tested and specified at Vs = 5.0 V • Radiometric output • Vs = 3.0 V output sensitivity ≈ 560 mV/g • Noise density decreases as the supply voltage increases. • Vs = 3.0 V, Noise Density = 190 μg/√Hz • When ratiometricity of sensitivity is factored in with supply voltage, self test response is roughly proportional to the cube of power supply voltage. • Vs = 3.0 V, Self Response ≈ 150 mV

  24. DS - Analog to Digital Conversion • Requirement for our electronic system: to convert signals from digital to analog forms • Analog to digital convertor (DAC)needed

  38. Shared Can Logistics • Sharing ½ can with Temple University • Temple University will be measuring gamma and x-rays, up to 100keV, through the use of a scintillator and photomultiplier-tube. They will use visible solar light as a directional z-axis reference point to characterize the high energy particles as solar or cosmic rays. • No Ports needed for experiment • Drexel and Temple have been communicating regularly thus far • Close geographic proximity allows for the teams to meet face to face and will aid in future collaboration

  39. Preliminary Mass Estimates Design for 2 Kg, Leaving minimum margin of 760 grams

  40. Center of Gravity Estimate • The center of gravity for our Design will be confined within a 1inch cube from the center of the canister. • This will be obtained by placing the large components in such a way that their resulting moment will be within the center of gravity envelope.
